Small sample: this pairing has only 53 ranked matches in the current window, so its win rate will swing more than deep-sample pairings as new games come in.
Why this works
Thinking you can pair two aggressive heroes to run at the enemy doesn't always work out. Lycan and Timbersaw operate on different clocks and want to achieve different things. Lycan wants to group up, use Shapeshift on a timer, and knock down buildings with his summons. Timbersaw is stronger in extended, chaotic fights where he can kite and wear down durable targets. They rarely want to fight the same battles, leaving one hero feeling out of sync with the team's main objective. To be fair, we don't see them picked together often.
